Our group of 8 had a great morning swimming with the seals. The weather was perfect, the seals were active - and the snowcapped mountains provided a great backdrop. We were warned that the water may be a bit cold, but the wetsuits worked well, and nobody noticed anyway - we were all enthralled with wildlife. There were up to... More

This was the most memorable thing we did, it was great to get in the water with seals in the wild and have them come to check you out and play, We turned up on the day and luckily they had space, the price was very reasonable and the group was small. The seals were so much fun, and seemed... More

This was one of many amazing trips we did in NZ. Lucky for us the bad weather forecast and a big swell at sea meant that we were the only two on our trip but unlike other excursions we tried to do, they didn't make excuses and cancel, they gave us the benefit of their full knowledge and attention.

Excellent staff. If it's a bad day to swim, they give you a refund or you can do it again the next day. If its still not a good day, they give you 90 or 95% refund. Very honest. When I did the seal swim, we got into the boat, but when we got to the colonies, they seals wore... More
